I Will Make Known My Holy Name

Among My People Isra'el

Ezeki'el 39: 7-8

DIG: What will the LORD
accomplish through this battle? In what way will the people
of Isra'el know God? What will the
Gentile nations know about Him?

As a result of the coming invasion, the LORD will make known Hisholy name amongHispeopleIsra'el. He is not just saying that
they will know that He is
ADONAI,
it would be more than that. This is stronger language than was used before.
Before it was merely head knowledge, here it is salvation knowledge. The
destruction of the invaders will cause a revival among the people of Isra'el. The
emphatic statement here is My people Isra'el because at that time they become
God’s people in spirit as well as position. But the other side of the same coin
is that YHVH will no longer allow Hisholy name to beprofaned. This has been a
common problem in the past for Isra'el. Indeed Isra'el is a secular society today,
and does not seek Him as a nation.

The Gentile nations will also know that
He is ADONAI, the Holy One in Isra'el.It
is coming! In other words, the time for the prophecy to arrive will eventually
come. Although from a human point of view, it is taking a long time
(Second Peter 3:9). But God’s
promises will be kept to the very letter of that promise. It will surely take
place, declares the ADONAI ELOHIM. This is the day I have spoken of.
Therefore,
in Ezeki'el 39:1-9 we have been given a summary of the invasion and destruction
of the alliance. While some of the information was old and part of it was new,
there is more new information to come.
